Now Foods, Sports, Amino-9 Essentials Powder, 11.64 oz (330 g)

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Description

Complete "Free-Form" Blend of all 9 Essential Amino Acids

Non-GMO

A Dietary Supplement

GMP Quality Assured

Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins. They are necessary for the function of all cells, for tissue repair, and for the production of enzymes and neurotransmitters. The body uses 20 amino acids to construct proteins, but nine "essential amino acids" cannot be made by the human body and must be supplied by the diet in order to achieve proper protein synthesis and maintain overall health. People with limited diets or poor digestion may not get enough essential amino acids from their diet. In contrast to proteins or peptide-bound amino acids, NOW Amino-9 Essentials has all 9 essential amino acids in the superior free-form state and in the proportions recommended by the National Academy of Sciences to optimize protein synthesis and tissue repair for adults age 19 and over.

Suggested Use

Mix 2 1/4 level teaspoons with 8 fl oz of juice or your favorite beverage once daily. Taking with juice or other beverage is recommended due to bitter taste of free-form amino acids.

Other Ingredients

None.

Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

Warnings

This product is sold by weight not volume.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place after opening.

Caution: For adults only. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition [e.g. liver disorders or phenylketonuria (PKU)]. Keep out of reach of children.

You will not feel a kick in energy, more like gentle help to energy levels. These are the only aminos that are worth it. They are complete - all 9 of them. They are in free form - digestion is not required (unlike most other aminos on the market, that are whey protein in pill form). They are in very good and natural ratio. They are not tasty, but that is not the point here!!!! They are bitter as there are no additatives and that is GREAT! Pour some milk, add a banana, add the aminos, blend it and you will not feel the taste. The powder does not mix easy, use some electric device.

I use all kind of supplements and I have never tasted anything disgusting as that!
do yourself a favor and don't buy it.
I must say that usually I love now foods products because they have quality products and their cheap but the taste in this specific product is just non edible.
